Empanada Express Grill offers an exceptional blend of Venezuelan flavors, and their menu is a delightful journey through some of the country’s most beloved dishes. Starting with the appetizers, there’s an exciting variety that captures the essence of traditional Venezuelan cuisine. The Hallacas, a festive tamale-like dish wrapped in plantain leaves, is filled with savory meats and aromatic spices. Tostones, crispy twice-fried plantains, offer a perfect balance of salty and crispy. For a sweet twist, the Fried Sweet Plantain adds a natural sweetness that complements the savory bites. The Tequenos, golden fried cheese sticks, are a crowd favorite, while the Cachapas—corn pancakes stuffed with cheese—are a delicious treat that’s both filling and comforting.
Moving on to the lunch menu, options like the Lunch Combo offer a little bit of everything, while the Traditional Venezuelan Plate serves up a hearty serving of rice, beans, and flavorful meats. The Venezuelan Tostada brings crispy fried bread topped with savory ingredients, and for a more casual bite, the Empanada Lunch and Arepa Lunch feature the signature stuffed pastries that are a true taste of Venezuela.
Empanadas and arepas dominate the menu, with fillings like Ham, Ground Beef & Potato, and the robustly seasoned Pabellon Criollo, a classic Venezuelan dish with shredded beef, black beans, and plantains. The Reina Pepiada, stuffed with chicken and avocado, and the Machaca, a tender shredded beef option, are also must-tries.
For those looking to go all out, the Traditional Venezuelan Dinner Plate or the Taste of Venezuela Plate deliver a grand selection of traditional favorites. If you’re craving something lighter, the Empanada Dinner Plate or Arepa Dinner Plate will hit the spot.
The sides like Black Beans and Rice are perfect complements to any meal, while Sopapillas—fried dough stuffed with sweet fillings—are a perfect end to your meal. The Stuffed Sopapilla and Quesillo, a Venezuelan flan, add a decadent touch to dessert options.
Wash it all down with a refreshing Exotic Juice, creamy Milkshake, or a hot Latte to fuel your next adventure. Whether you’re after a light snack or a full-on feast, Empanada Express Grill has something to please every palate.
